Perhaps the most interesting of yesterday's primaries was the vote by the relatively moderate electorate in the key swing state of Wisconsin. Analysts are salivating over exit poll results, and the hints they may offer into how voters are likely to lean come November. For one thing, the economy, and not social issues, was a priority for Wisconsin voters, notes the New York Times. As for where they stand on the political spectrum, just over half said they support the Tea Party—and they generally voted for Mitt Romney.

Three of 10 consider themselves "very conservative," another three are "somewhat conservative," and four of 10 said they were moderate or liberal. Romney split the very-conservatives with Santorum, but won the other groups. Only 60% of the voters identified themselves as Republican, with 30% considering themselves independents, and 10% as Democrats—who mostly voted for Rick Santorum. Wisconsin voted for Ronald Reagan in the '80s, but has voted for the Democratic candidates ever since. Controversial GOP Gov. Scott Walker swept into office in 2010 on a wave of anti-Obama sentiment, but the state may now also be fed up with Walker.

The people of Wisconsin have a right to know what happened to the American Legion funds. http://www.jsonline.com/news/statepolitics/walker-ordered-transfer-of-control-of-veterans-event-funds-7m3mlgc-136793723.html
